This exercise is about the difficulty of translation, but does not use a large corpus, nor any complex algorithms–just your own ingenuity. A rare language spoken by only about a hundred people has an unusal number system that is not base ten. Below are the translations of the first ten cube numbers (1³ to 10³) in this language, in some random order. Can you identify which phrase is which number, and how the number system works? 

a. Eser tarumpao yuow ptae eser traowo eser 

b. Eser traowo yuow 

c. Naempr 

d. Naempr ptae eser traowo eser 

e. Naempr tarumpao yuow ptae yuow traowo naempr 

f. Naempr traowo yempoka 

g. Tarumpao 

h. Yempoka tarumpao yempoka ptae naempr traowo yempoka

i. Yuow ptae yempoka traowo tampui
